The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has clarified that the new price for correcting the date of birth (DOB) on the National Identification Number (NIN) database, set at N28,574, is waived if the error to be corrected was caused by the Commission.
This clarification is contained in a letter issued by Festus Esangbedo, Head of the Legal Regulatory Compliance Service Department at NIMC, which was exclusively obtained by Nairametrics.
The letter responds to a demand by the Data Privacy Lawyers Association (DPLAN) for compliance with Nigerian data protection law concerning fees for rectifying DOB on NIN records.
